At the Athens Orthopedic Clinic Twilight race, Alexis Magner and Clever Martinez claimed victories using different strategies. Magner executed a powerful last-lap sprint to secure her third consecutive win at this event, having previously raced in Europe. Clever Martinez employed aggressive tactics to distance himself from his breakaway partner, leading to his triumph. Both athletes highlighted the significance of their respective victories while expressing gratitude towards their teams and supporters, and showcased their skills in front of enthusiastic crowds.
Magner waited to use her long sprint ability on the uphill to the finish in Athens. She launched a final acceleration on the outside of turn four and carved out a half-bike length lead that Arielle Verhaaren could not close.
Martinez came into his third USA CRITS race fresh off winning double gold medals at the Pan American Track Championships for Venezuela, which he called 'the most important event on the continent'.
'Just really happy and grateful to be out here and doing what I want to do, the biggest race in the US. To have the support of my CRCA Foundation team, thank you so much boys,' he said to the crowd after his win.
Magner's win marked her third consecutive victory in Athens, demonstrating her strategic prowess and ability to execute a winning sprint in a highly competitive race.
